114. Prologue

Looking at the starry sky, Qin Lang sighed helplessly, this is another cloudless day. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before dawn, he was already standing on the city gate and practicing the boxing technique in his "unreliable" memory. It's a lot like tai chi, but it's a little faster. As soon as he had trained his body to warm up, he saw dozens of army-green trucks in the distance, approaching Zhangye City at the fastest speed.

"It's time to come, too."

Qin Lang was not distracted, he was still practicing one by one, and it was not until he accepted the recruitment that he took the towel from the guard's hand, and sang in a ghost crying wolf voice while wiping his sweat:

"I'm looking at the mountain from the castle tower,

I heard the chaos outside the city.

Banner flapping,

But it turned out to be a soldier sent by Sima, a soldier, a soldier ......! ”

Before he could finish singing, he heard someone throw something on the ground, and then shouted:

"Little bunny stop singing, believe it or not, I'll come up and beat you!"

There is a tea shop downstairs in the city, and the boss usually likes to come to a piece of Peking Opera. The "Empty City Plan" just now is a section that the boss must sing every day. After listening to it for a few days, Qin Lang sang it to the tune of "Little Apple", and then the old man was about to drop the old tea bowl.

"The commander is too bad!"

The guard is a talented person, his name is Wang Bangcai, and he is quite clever.

"Slow down and half a beat, don't mutter there, let's go!"

Qin Lang went down to the tea shop and listened to the boss pull the erhu to come to "Cosmic Edge", so he put the tea money and left slowly.

"You're a dead old man, what's so angry with others. That little chief is also good-tempered, and others have already given you a shot. ”

The proprietress of the tea shop was counting the money while complaining about her old man.

"What do you mother-in-law know, the song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu doesn't understand! You're my little ......, phew, this little bastard is a lot of harm! ”

Just when the two of them were arguing in the teahouse, Qin Lang had already returned to the division headquarters.

Now in Zhangye City, in addition to the guard company he brought, there are also two reconnaissance companies sent by Brain. His statement is that he is stationed in training, which is not easy to refuse. However, one of them has been assigned to Cai Feng, so I think he needs it more!

"Commander, the 1st Infantry Battalion has been ordered to arrive, please instruct the chief."

Today's machine infantry battalion has also changed its guns, with Type 28 submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles, howitzers, and even armored vehicles being twin-mounted 28 general-purpose machine guns. They even have a heavy mortar company, six 150mm mortars, even Yu Chenggang is greedy.

"Five minutes of activity, get in the car and enter the preset position, and the whole battalion is ready to fight!"

"Yes!"

Zhangye is an important transportation hub in the future, and it cannot be destroyed in the war. So this battlefield has to be changed to another place, there are too many places to ambush on the road from Wuwei to Zhangye, and in the end Qin Lang chose a plain.

As soon as he got into the command car, the staff officers hurriedly surrounded him.

"Commander, this is a division of the Northwest Army, and their combat effectiveness must not be underestimated!"

This time they were in a hurry, although the number of the division that came was only about 5,000. However, the officers of the Northwest Army were the first to endure hardships, and the morale and quality of the soldiers were naturally much better.

"Let the first battalion build a position, and the artillery company has two Schneider light mountain guns to do a good job of concealment."

The troops that could be used at hand were the first battalion of Jibu, but Qin Lang had no intention of investing in a war of attrition.

"Commander, they are a division, and there is an army cover from Song Kangping behind, this plan is too risky!"

The staff officers are still making a final effort.

According to the information seized by Zhang Yecheng, the Northwest Army in front of him has unknowingly developed into a behemoth. Now Feng Dashuai has 81 divisions and 400,000 people. In the face of such power, anyone has to weigh their qualifications.

"Or if we return to Inner Mongolia, this behemoth, the red zone can't be provoked at all!"

"Commander, as long as we retreat temporarily, once the new warlord takes the war, we can make a comeback."

"Now that the economy in the base areas is tense, and after this war is fought, many plans will have to be shelved."

The staff officers put forward their opinions one after another, but Qin Lang just smiled coldly.

"If we retreat to Suiyuan, do you think those Northwest Army will give up? Now they lack money and food, and once they enter the grassland, the herdsmen will inevitably suffer. With these gains, they will definitely continue to go deeper,. As soon as a target like Baiyun Obo is discovered, the troops in southern Henan will advance to Zhangjiakou.

The poor and crazy Northwest Army will not care about Yan Xishan's tofu army. At that time, we will face a two-front battle, and even Feng Dashuai will temporarily put aside the grievances with Chang Gong and concentrate on dealing with us, even if we win at that time, it will inevitably be a heavy loss, and it will take at least a year to recover. The Zhangjin Railway will definitely be blocked, and if we have no raw materials to import, the economy of the base area will go bankrupt, and we will have to rely on the sale of minerals to sustain ourselves at that time. ”

Hearing this, the staff officers sweated all at once.

"Commander, isn't it too big for two battalions to fight one division. Or should the 1st Brigade be transferred over to deal with all kinds of contingencies? ”

Qin Lang shook his head.

"It was simply too late for the 1st Brigade to move, and we could only repel the enemy with the two battalions we had at hand. Zhang Ye can only sing the empty city plan, the guard company stays here, and there should be a thousand non-combat troops. Their mission is to maintain order and eliminate anyone who wants to fish in troubled waters! ”

Unconsciously, the command car slowly stopped, and Wang Bangcai whispered:

"Commander, we have arrived at the ambush site, Comrade Cai Feng, please instruct!"

Qin Lang nodded.

When he got out of the car, he found that the position had been constructed. This is a typical 1928 battalion-level defensive position, there is not a single deviation, and it seems that the first battalion has not slackened during this time.

"Yes, Comrade Cai Feng is your staff officer now, and this operation is under your full command!"

"Yes, Comrade Commander!"

Cai Feng's voice trembled a little, both excited but more apprehensive. When he found that the people in the entire battalion headquarters were looking at him, he took a few deep breaths before he said calmly:

"I order the whole battalion to prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

The battalion chief of staff shook the phone on the table a few times, then picked up the microphone and said:

"The whole battalion is ready for battle!"

Each battalion of the First Brigade had a communications platoon, which had built a communications network using captured or purchased telephones and was now able to delegate orders to each company.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

At this moment, a telephone rang on the desk, and the signal soldier in charge of the wiring listened for a while and said:

"Report, the enemy was spotted five kilometers in front of the company, and they formed two columns and were approaching the ambush position quickly."

Cai Feng bit his lip vigorously.

"Let the artillery prepare, and once the enemy artillery is found, it will be destroyed as soon as possible." (To be continued.) )
